LOUISVILLE, KY, July 15-Ramsey was in
splendid form to-day and completely nonplused
the Batimores. Only four hits and two bases
on balls were made off his delivery. The Louis
villes also played an almost faultless fielding
game and raped Kilroy's curves freely. The

Davis and Fumer making costly errors, which
let in runs. Sommers played a brilliant game at
second. The visitors only scored

BOSTON. Mass, July 15.-Manager Fogel was
interviewed by your correspondent this evening
He says that be is very well satisfied with the
work of the team since he took charge Of It, and
regrets that he has found it necessary to disci-
pline one of the players. II have fined Hackett
$100 and suspended HIM without pay" said Mr..
Foeel, II cannot allow any player to act as he
has done, without notice. The cause is nsubor-
dination told Hackett that he was down on
the card to play in the field in Wednesdays
game at Philadelphia, and also informed him
several times that wanted him to catch against
the Cuban Giant at Trenton Thursday. Re-

at the backgrounds without his uniform, and I
was forced to put Myers in the field This was
bad enough, but what followed was worse.
Hackett wanted TO 60 to Boston, and as I
needed him at Trenton I told him
so, and refused him permission to go.
That night he packed his valise and left

Now, I've got bit of news for You that will
occasion some surprise in Indianapolis. This
morning Glasscock resigned his position as cap
tain Of the team. and appointed Jerry Denny
captain. Jack came TO me and said he found
the responsibility irksome. He thought he was
too modest and couldn't do the proper amount |
of kicking the field, and wanted some one |
else to try his hand. The club its first |
game today under Captain Denny and Jerry is |
in high feather He believes he is genuine |

game, and believe will"
